The vigintisexviratus was a college of the lowest elected magistrates in the Nova Roman Republic and the name literally means "Twenty-Six Men", although their number in Nova Roma is eleven.

The following offices were once part of the Nova Roman vigintisexviratus:
| Magister aranearius | the chief webmaster of Nova Roma |
| Editor commentariorum | the editor-in-chief of the news and publications of Nova Roma |
| Rogatores | registrar of new citizens and voters |
| Diribitores | vote counter election official |
| Custodes | election jury official |
History of the vigintisexviratus in Nova Roma
In Fr. Apulo C. Laenate cos. ‡ MMDCCLVIII a.u.c., the office of magister aranearius was removed from the vigintisexviratus and was made a senate appointed officer, like a curatorship. In L. Arminio Ti. Galerio cos. ‡ MMDCCLX a.u.c., the office of the editor commentariorum also became a senate appointment, although it remained part of the vigintisexviri. In L. Sulla (III) cos. sine collega ‡ MMDCCLXVI a.u.c., all offices of the vigintisexviratus was abolished, though it was maintained in the lex Equitia de constitutione corrigenda as a type of office for potential reintroduction. Diribitores, rogatores and custodes continued to be appointed but not as magistrates but only as subordinate officers similar to the category of apparitores.
